What Celebration Captains Do in Real Life...

Today in Celebration, as a lead-in to our lesson about Paul being a tent-maker and how God has a plan for us to glorify God in whatever occupation He leads us too, I had the bright, spur-of-the-moment idea to ask the Celebration captains what they did for a living and then had the kids guess what the captains who were not in the room did.

They were excited to learn that Mr. Tim is a mailman, they cheered for Mrs. Cherry that she was a mom, they didn't really understand that Mr. Steve sold software to schools. It was all going so well. They thought Mr. Stuart worked at the church but then someone else guessed he was a missionary. How sweet. A fourth grade girl was going to guess that Mr. Joey was a rock star, but someone cleared up that he is an engineer. Someone thought Mr. Kevin was a librarian (seriously???) and then when I named another female captain one of our sweet 4th grade boys said, "Underwear model?"

I held it together until I caught Steve's eye and it was over. So totally inappropriate, but very, very funny. Seriously, did any other ministry laugh as hard as we did Sunday morning? Who knows what they are going to say?????

Oh my! Heard Mr. Joey doesn't even act like a Rock Star at work. Who thought Mr. Kevin could be quiet in the library? And I am loving the model comment! Ya'll do have the most fun.
